Cool, Randy is very knowledgable. I had the chance to talk to him when he was in town for the World Aquaculture convention this year. I have been very satisfied with his products. Reed mariculture produces live aquatic supplys not only for the aquarium industry, but for large scale aquaculture as well.

Do you have any more details on exactly what topics he will be talking about?

I would be most interested in topics related to aquaculture techniques on a hobbyist level such as...techniques for culturing phytoplankton (particularly the more difficult species), nutritional profiles of various phyto species, techniques for culturing copepods (benthic & pelagic).

Sorry SoLiD....didn't mean to open up bad memories.

In happier news, I can bring a few ORA Blue Cali Tort frags if anyone is interested in a trade. I got this from Pete a few years ago. It finally started taking off.

That was a great meeting. Learned a lot. Im a FOWLR guy myself so considered not going, but im glad I did. My tangs will benefit from there Macro-feast line. Im actually thinking I may ditch my Macro fuge and turn it into a quarantine/banishment tank now. Again awesome meeting.

[caferacermike]

Dang my luck. For some reason I thought this was next weekend and went to the Zoo, natural science museum and both aquariums in Dallas today. My bad.

[Sherri]

Outstanding meeting....learned a lot myself...great crowd - thanks to everyone that attended. Thank you Randy and come back to visit with us again...

[TexasTodd]

One of the best meetings I've ever been to.

Kudos to those that set it up!

Todd

[BIGBIRD123]

Superb meeting. Thanks Mike for getting this together. A very special thanks to Randy for coming and making this presentation. I believe we all learned a lot. We had a tremendous turnout of approx. 68 people. I also believe we found a good meeting place. Afterwards, I spoke with the Mgr on duty and thanked him. He was very happy with our contentment and welcomed us to use their facility anytime.

Thanks everyone for coming...

Steve

[clone]

GREAT MEETING!!!!!
thanks to all board members and sponcers

[captexas]

Usually, representitives from companies turn speaking engagements into nothing more than a sales pitch for their products, but I found Randy's discussion was very educational and informative. A big thanks to Randy and the BOD for a great meeting and it sounds like this will be a good year for the club!

Ditto. I am waiting for the Rotifer posts to start piling in. I can't wait to do it myself. It was a GREAT turnout, and thank you to all that had the opportunity to come.
Also, thanks to those that renewed, and to the MAAST newbies. 25 dollars is nothing to pay when you get to have speakers like Randy. :)

[copperband]

I agree this meeting was a real success.

[sharkboy]

Was it videotaped?

[RayAllen]

Was it videotaped?

Im sure it wasnt, at least i did not see anyone with a video camera. Ive been to 4 meeting and I do not think any of them have been video taped. It was a 1 1/2 hour talk by Randy from Reef Nutrtion. If you want to catch up on there products check out www.ReefNutrition.com (http://www.ReefNutrition.com)

[erikharrison]

Can someone videotape this event and maybe post in library for those of us that cannot make it?

I wish I had seen this earlier. That sounds like a good idea, and thanks for asking, I know it will be looked into. Thanks for the suggestion Art!

[Sherri]

sharkboy....you can find info also at www.copepods.com (http://www.copepods.com) - www.rotifers.com (http://www.rotifers.com) also.

I personally don't know of anyone that taped the presentation. There were some brochures handed out that are very informative. Maybe someone has an extra or two??

[SoLiD]

I just got home to in time to read how everyone that attended the meeting felt the same way as I did. I haven't been to a ton of meetings but enough to single it out as the best meeting that I have ever attended. It was worth every drop of gas to and from Corpus Christi. Randy was very knowledgeable and informative. -David

What about contacting Randy and asking him if he could email a copy of the PowerPoint presentation?
That would be better than nothing for the people who could not attend. Of course, it's always better to hear the presentation while seeing/reading the slides, but this may be the best we can do.
